And Jonathan was a fantastic guide, making sure to hike at the perfect speed for all levels of fitness, keeping an eye on everyone and making sure to have some personal time to get to know everyone a little. This hike is pretty difficult but soooo worth it! Such a fun off the beaten path tour from but yet outside of Cusco!”
